It's that special time of year again when For Christmas---the best Christmas movie ever---takes center stage in my house. So what better way to celebrate than with some of A&D posts about this instant classic that stand out?

It was an unexpected sweet spot in ShOliver's relationship between Oliver sending the letter and Holly finally returning. And it was in this space that Oliver educated Shane on a very important topic: the dance.

There's a reason why Shane's costume was ripped. The small action spoke volumes about the depths of Shane's pain, while also a testiment to the lengths which God will go to in order to heal our deepest wounds.

God likes to restore things that have been lost, and often does so by replacing it with something even better. The restoration of different aspects of Shane's life, often through objects, has demonstrated this concept beautifully, giving her necklace, the porch swing and her childhood home a new perspective from which to be appreciated.

Which for Christmas posts have been your favorite? Share them with me in the comments!

I'll be taking a few days to get back to re-organize, adjust and prepare to continue the analysis only A&D can bring you. See you next Monday as we get back into it!
